Medicines Co. Analyst Notes 

On March 31, 2014, Medicines Co. (Medicines) released an update on the Angiomax® (Bivalirudin) Patent Litigation. The Company informed that Judge Andrews in the U.S. District Court of Delaware issued his Trial Opinion in "The Medicines Company versus Hospira, Inc." - a case involving Hospira's Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking approval to commercially manufacture, use or sell a generic version of The Medicines Company's Angiomax® bivalirudin drug product before the expiration of the patents covering this product. The court upheld the validity of the two patents in the case, and also found that Hospira had failed to prove that the patents were either anticipated and/or obvious. However, with respect to infringement, based on its July 2013 Markman Decision, the Court found that Hospira's ANDAs did not meet the "efficient mixing" claim limitation and thus did not infringe the asserted claims of the '727 and '343 patents. The announcement led to a sharp decline in Medicines' stock which ended at $24.02 on April 1, 2014, representing a decline of 15.48% from previous day's close.
